Chapter 97: "Become the Saintess"

In the European continent, there were three great houses that were famous against Honkai at the forefront from time immemorial.

House Apocalypse, House Schariac, and House Kaslana.

These three houses have their respective roles in maintaining balance among each other.

The House Apocalypse has the role of "Overseer" and they usually don't produce any warriors, so they lack the strength to fight the honkai, and makes them very dependent on the other two families.

The current Patriarch of the house of Apocalypse is Otto Apocalypse himself, and he is also the leader of the famous organization called [Schicksal.]

For the Saintess position that Thea was aiming for right now, it was the patriarch position of the House Schariac.

Ever since Otto took the throne of the house of Apocalipse, he made the Schariac house and Kaslana house decline every day, which caused no leader to appear between the two houses.

The former patriarch of Kaslana's house was Siegfried Kaslana, that is, her father. But ever since he became a fugitive Schicksal after the second honkai war, his status in his family was revoked, and he is no longer the patriarch of the Kaslana house.

Meanwhile, Schariac's house, which had the role of a "Saintess" or "Divine Maiden", was currently in internal and external chaos, which caused this house like Kaslana's house, to be full of chaos.

The previous patriarch of the Schariac house was Cecilia, her mother. But ever since she was pronounced dead thirteen years ago, the position of patriarch in the Schariac house had also become vacant.

Honestly, any smart people here could see that the house of Apocalypse, which was under Otto's leadership, was suppressing these two families under their banner.

Although these three houses used to unite to look after each other's interests. When the scale of balance is shattered, then the strong will definitely devour the weak.

Today these two famous families, Kaslana and Schariac, are rarely heard of, and only leave traces of their legendary past.

Whether it was because of their endless internal and external conflicts that were provoked by Otto, or because the number of members in their family was getting smaller every year...

These two great families were truly walking towards their annihilation.

"So you want the position of Saintess of the Schariac house? I understand your thinking, but you have the wrong person. They decide who will be their leader. Not me."

Hearing Otto's utterly hypocritical words, Thea shook her head.

"No, you can. Isn't Abyss Flower, the 6th divine key still in your hands? You have enough of a role to influence the decision of taking the position of patriarch in Schariac house."

Within the three houses, apart from the factor of receiving family members' approval, the role of the divine key also played a very important role in the patriarch's selection process.

An example is the Kaslana house, the home of the knights. The selection of their leader was quite simple, that is, apart from having to be the strongest person, successfully using the Judgment of Shamash, the 7th Divine Key, freely unharmed, would be instantly guaranteed the position of patriarch. Just like Siegfried's previous election.

This is also true with Schariac's house.

As long as one manages to control the Abyss Flower without being contaminated with the honkai energy, and can use it normally. She had already obtained the approval of most of the Schariac family members.

"Are you sure you want to take the position of Saintess? I'm not forbidding you, but don't you have a better position here?" Otto closed his eyes in pain.

Thea wore a disgusted expression, because she understood what Otto was trying to say at this point.

Become the leader of Schicksal?

keep dreaming!

I won't fall into your trap!

Otto sighed in disappointment: "Well, since this is my good friend's request, then I will be willing to help you at a small cost."

Has another meaning, you have to pay more.

"Alright, I'm not an ungrateful person either. I'll pay for it according to my ability."

Otto nodded his head, and he smiled very broadly.

"Okay, then we have a deal. The situation at Schariac's house is currently still very complicated, so for announcements and negotiations, it will probably take as long as a dozen days. Would you mind waiting a bit?"

Thea shook her head: "It's okay, this is enough for me. I will remember this favor of yours."

"Don't be so polite my friend. Isn't it proper as friends to help each other?"

Hearing this, Thea's mouth twitched slightly.

How hypocritical are you?

You mean the definition of a friend is someone who can easily be betrayed and shot in the head without feeling the least bit guilty, right?

I don't want to become the second Fu Hua.

You can go be friend with yourself.

"Okay, then I'll be waiting."

During the next dozen days, while monitoring the development of Schariac's house in between times. Thea not only stayed in place, and she began to train her body once again with even greater intensity.

After finishing the evolution, the stigmata which is the original body changes to become more perfect.

The stigmata of the Kaslana family, the stigmata Herrscher of Void, and the stigmata Herrscher of Death, had assimilated into one, becoming a part of her that would never be separated.

She had done a major upgrade of all aspects.

The ordinary special stigmata of the Kaslana family could even make a fleshly mortal body into the body of a god beyond Herrscher. Plus she had already completed her upgrade, Thea even now still didn't know the limits of her body's current strength.

She only felt that her current body was getting stronger with the more training she did.

Feeling the flow of power entering her body increasing at a rapid rate, it was like there was no stop button. Thea now knows why Bianka likes training so much.

The feeling of getting stronger every day can indeed make a person very addicted.

In the training room....

Rita who had just finished cooking lunch, took a walk in the hallways of Schicksal headquarters, while holding three boxes of lunch that were quite large in her hands.

As an elit level maid, it was only fitting that she control the nutritional intake contained in the homemade dishes that her master would eat. This dish is her love for master Bianka, and her two cute little sisters.

Rita felt very happy to serve the three of them, and she smiled slightly.

"Oh, did someone break the rankings record again? The atmosphere here is quite lively."

Standing at the door of the training room, and saw that all the valkyries had gathered in front of the monitor screen. Rita approached them curiously, and she immediately heard the sound of a cold breath.

"Did you see that? captain Durandal simulation data record was beaten again! Now captain Durandal has entered the Memorial Arena to challenge her again! Those two are truly monsters!"

"I didn't know that other than captain Durandal, we have another valkyrie that is very challenging the sky here... Are they both still human?"

"Look, Captain Durandal has broken another record! The simulation data record has been fixed again!"

Hearing the discussion of the valkyries who were very excited. Rita, who was behind them, coughed lightly.

"Excuse me, could you explain to me exactly what's going on here?"
